TAIWAN DOLPHIN DEATH

Dolphins with stomachs filled with plastic bags die in Taiwan

epa06598784 A handout photo made available by the National Cheng-Kung University's Marine Biology and Cetacean Research Center shows the bodies of three Pigmy killer whales (Feresa attenuata), which are actually dolphins, having died from heart and lung failure after being rescued from the Kaohsiung Harbour, at the National Cheng-Kung University (NCKU) in Tainan, southern Taiwan, 09 March 2018 (Issued 12 March 2018). Autopsy showed the dolphins had died from hunger and stomach ulcer as one dolphin's stomach was filled with 18 plastic bags while another dolphin's stomach was jammed with several plastic bags, pieces of styrofoam, and a long piece of sponge. The Taiwan government has launched a campaign to cut the use of plastic bags and plastic straws to prevent polluting the environment and the sea and to save marine life.
